The College of Sciences and Humanities would like to congratulate the 2020-2021 calendar year retirees from the Humanities departments.

A note from Paul<\/span><\/h4>\n

Throughout the 2019-2020 academic year, as I prepared for my retirement in June 2020, I completed what seemed to be the endless stream of paperwork, all the while setting up what I hoped would be a fun \u201cretirement tour\u201d into early 2021.\u00a0 We all know how that turned out!<\/p>\n

After spending a month cleaning out my office of 37 years, and squeezing what little I could into my home office, I hunkered down over the summer, fall, and winter\u2014catching up on four decades of lost sleep, walking three miles every day along the Cardinal and White River Greenways, integrating myself back into the goings-on of our household, and putting in 2-3 hours a day on one of my three writing projects.\u00a0 For this project, unhindered finally by meetings and grading papers, I am engaged in reimagining Liberal Education for the 21st<\/sup> century American university.\u00a0\u00a0 I have finally been able to draft about 175 pages focusing on the classical rhetorician Isocrates and how his concept of language, culture, and education might once again produce the leaders it did 2400 years ago.\u00a0 It has been a joy working on those ideas in my study carrel in Bracken Library\u2014isolated with my books, my notes, and ideas drawn from years of reading, traveling abroad, and teaching, especially honors students in their honors humanities courses.<\/i><\/p>\n

Students from my last year have been a welcomed \u201cbreak\u201d from this schedule.\u00a0 I have enjoyed individual, almost weekly casual coffee chats.\u00a0 I miss teaching the most, being rooted in day-to-day, face-to-face engagement with so many bright young minds.\u00a0 I hope to collect my thoughts on teaching and all these fascinating personalities in the second of my writing projects.<\/p>\n

I have traveled some over the past year, but Lynn and I hope to do much more in the years to come, travels back to Greece, England, Scotland, and Ireland; new trips to Italy and Germany; and visits to multiple locations throughout the U.S.\u2013 all the places promised to my very patient wife.\u00a0 I have already spend much more time with my daughter, her husband and our granddaughter.\u00a0 With Emma\u2019s recent interest in middle school sports, I am sure I will once again get to know all the regional track and cross country courses as we did with Claire.\u00a0 And then there is baseball\u2014I have a lifetime of baseball games to get caught up on, especially spring training games in Lakeland, Florida when the Midwest is still in the dying throes of winter.<\/p>\n

\u201cRetirement\u201d is a strange word to me.\u00a0 My daughter once claimed that the concept is so strange that I would never try it.\u00a0 I am trying it, and giving it my best shot!\u00a0 So far, so good. . . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mary Theresa Seig,\u00a0Associate Provost for Global Initiatives<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mary Theresa Seig
English<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary Theresa Seig received her Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics and TESOL<\/a> from Oklahoma State University in 1998. She was hired as Assistant Professor of English in 2001, after completing a post-doctoral fellowship appointment in the Indiana Center for Intercultural Communication at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Early in her career she taught TESOL, linguistics, and applied linguistics to graduate and undergraduate students, eventually serving on 21 dissertation committees and supervising three dissertations and more than 30 masters projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Ball State, Dr. Seig was involved in a series of large applied research projects.\u00a0 She partnered with Conner Prairie Living History Park to apply linguistic insights to the visitor experience. She and her Connor Prairie partners redesigned the visitor experience to better meet the museum\u2019s pedagogical aims and improve the experience for return visitors. In a follow-up grant, Dr. Seig and her partners applied their insights to create <\/span>Opening Doors<\/span><\/i>, a guest engagement curriculum that would go on to be distributed and influence guest experiences for more than 26 million visitors at museums around the world each year. Ellen Rosenthal, then CEO of Conner Prairie, wrote that she had \u201cnever worked with or even met an academic as able as Dr. Seig to apply her research in such a practical way.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2006, Dr. Seig was appointed Director of the Intensive English Institute (IEI). As a result of strategic international recruitment, and under her leadership, the IEI grew from an enrollment of approximately 36 international students taught by 10 graduate students to enrollment of more than 300 international students and a staff of 24 full-time instructors, 14 graduate assistants, and three assistant directors. During this period of growth, which peaked in 2014, the IEI earned the gold standard of accreditation from the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation (CEA).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Seig was also involved in grant-funded teacher development projects abroad, serving as either principal investigator or co-principal investigator on 16 funded projects totaling over $3.7M.\u00a0 One of the largest grew out of project-based curriculum she helped develop at Ball State\u2019s IEI.\u00a0 Working for six years with the U.S. State Department and the Iraqi Government, Dr. Seig and IEI colleagues worked collaboratively to design and implement an English Language Center (ELC) in Baghdad, employing 10 Iraqi teachers and five expatriate teachers to serve Iraqi scholarship students learning English. She travelled to Iraq 18 times, spending nearly nine months there over the course of the six-year partnership.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, Dr. Seig was appointed to serve as the Associate Provost for Global Initiatives, where she managed the IEI and the Rinker Center for International Programs (RCIP).\u00a0 Tasked with <\/span>developing a comprehensive plan for internationalizing the university, she re-doubled RCIP and IEI international outreach, assisting faculty pursuing international efforts and connections and seeking partnerships in various countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Seig retired from Ball State University in August 2020 and is currently serving as the Dean of the College of Arts, Education, and Humanities at Bemidji State University in Bemidji, Minnesota.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marina Guntsche, \u00a0Associate Professor, Department of Modern Languages and Classics<\/span><\/h3>\n

Marina Guntsche received a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Spanish Language and Literature from Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (Mendoza, Argentina), and her Master’s Degree and Doctorate in Spanish from the University of Michigan. Dr. Guntsche began working for Ball State in 1994. During her nearly three decades at the University, Dr. Guntsche authored two books and several other professional publications on Argentine and Latin American Literature. She was the only native Spanish speaker tenured faculty member in the Spanish section for most of the years she served there. In addition, she tirelessly served her department, college, and university on numerous committees. She was known among students for her high academic teaching standards and for her dedication to helping them succeed in her classes.<\/span><\/p>\n
